Decarbonization Demands High Standards
The emissions differential between traditional jet fuel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is crucial, with a minimum requirement of 50% carbon savings over a lifecycle for SAF to qualify under recent US incentives. Current bio-based fuels achieve carbon reductions of 50 to 75%, while advanced fuels utilizing carbon capture and renewable hydrogen can provide over 90% savings compared to fossil sources. Understanding these metrics is vital for measuring the effectiveness and adoption of SAF in the aviation industry.
